Why is this literally perfect

[@emmanuelmartin04]

Mr. Currentzis really captured the intensity and the spirit of the Dies Irae.. Absolutely beautiful..

[@Cernumospete]

The drums are so prominent, the horns a bit metallic sharper and it all feels as if sped up. Like really, really ANGRY.

[@louise_rose]

In some performances, where the orchestra and the timpani are slighly syncopated (and where the singers pronounce "Dies Irae" a little differently) the opening comes across like a cowboy song, calling at their horses and with whips cracking: "HEY! - HEY! - .. 'HE!" - HE'! / -- HEY-HEY-HEY- he-he-HEEEE-EEE-EEEEYYY /YA!! /HE-HE-HE-HEY!-HEY!" etc, a real yippie-aye groove - and itr returns several times through the long doomsday hymn. It's a remarkable theatrical effect, especially in a 19th century musical setting. I wonder if Verdi ever realized how close he got to this "cowboy sound" (which I can't help hearing right away), it's a vein of music he could never have heard in person at the time - but it fits perfectly here if we imagine the souls of the damned being herded around by triumphant devils with floggers in their hands... :)

[@adrianpavlov7845]

This is my second KZbin experience with Currentzis conducting "Dies irae" (with different orchestra and chorus) and again it is incredible how he manages to extract the most extreme colours from singers and instruments and to reach such tremendous, almost expressionistic effect from the score, which one hears so often performed in a dry and academic way, not to mention the rhythmic strength... Looking forward to see and hear him live in Berlin with the complete work! One aspect more - Currentzis conducts old and new music as well and this seems to be especially fertile for his interpretations of the old masters. I am not a fan of comparissons with great conductors from the past, and I wish to us all to have more rich and controversal figures in today music life as Currentzis, and not so many well-styled, stupid & boring young guys and girls doing only standard stuff and staying at the conductor's desk only to be seen from the masses and "to express themselves", as many of them say...

[@gabrielkaz5250]

First of all, why is the performance cut at a random moment ???? and honestly, the tempo isn't a pblm for me in majority, but he never take time, I feel it when there's the pinao part with the trumpets and trombone, there's a need to ♩ = 176 it feels like an obligation, a good news is that he became more respectful of Verdi's score than his interpretation of Mozart's dies irae. Srsly, that camera is a bit too ankward when there are big plans of Currentzis

[@ColinWrubleski-eq5sh]

I must admit to being baffled as to how laudatory the commentators here are to the work of Teodor C., since the critic whose opinion i trust the most absolutely loathes him...

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

I’m sorry, but when have critics ever truly spoken for the majority of the public (no less cultured, by the way)? When in any universe at any time in history😂 It is rare that I agree with a critic, and I am an educated person, and a violinist, no less! So whose opinion is the lesser of the two, especially now with a musical matter on the table for discussion? Now, is this conductor and this performance to the level of, say, Bernstein or Karajan? No, I wouldn’t say so, but it sounds lovely to me, and I have always said that the only place a Requiem should be performed is in a church😉

Not bad . I would prefer to listen Mozart's requiem . Verdi's Requiem is very similar to the works of Beethoven and Mozart . The beginning of this section was very similar to : The Ruins of Athens (Die Ruinen von Athen), Opus 113, specially movement 4 : (Dervish Chorus: Du hast in deines Ärmels Falten(Allegro, ma non troppo - E minor) .

[@grey5647]

there is Mozart's requiem here on KZbin even in two versions. One is a studio record of kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqTbpJxvd5Zqd9U and few fragments from Salzburg Festival kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZvcYWOngZh7jdk. Please enjoy

I very much enjoy listening to Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker, but watching those concerts is like watching the living dead. Simon Rattle brought out the best in the Berliners. Now I am really looking forward to Currentzis and the Berliner Philharmoniker performing Messa da Requiem on Saturday.
